THE DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE
With Downcast Eyes
lied the Cull of IL
In the olden times a Jew named
Yachiel :Michael kept all inn in a
little village near Prague. The squire
of that village was a wealthy noble-
man—a count, whose innkeeper was
likewise a man of no mean estate, a
:Ilan of many good deeds who spent
a great deal of his tummy in Prague
—a man of learning who visited there
the rabbinisch head of the yeshiba,
of whom lie bought matzoth and
other provender for holidays. On
his sojuorns he asked the holy man
to pray that a male heir he born unto
him. The rabbi, knowing the ileere
of Providence, refused, b to com,_,

this pledge to comfort him, l'achiel
Michael returned home. He had two
daughters, so lie began laying up
dowries, first for the elder one and
then for the younger. In default of
a son, lie looked forward to having
a great scholar for a son-in-law. God
prospered hint, and when he had
hoarded up five hundred florins he
said to Dvoshe, his wife: "The time
is ripe for marrying off our eldest,
Nachoma." Dvoshe fell in with the
plan and they began to figure—three
hundred florins for the dowry and
two hundred for the bride's outfit.
gifts and wedding expenses. And,
further, they vowed a feast to the
poor that Prague would long remem-
ber. But there were delays; the
squire sent his innkeeper on far-o&
errands, then snowfalls came and
blocked the road, the summer was a
troubled one, then the holidays ar-
rived and Yachiel Michael could not
leave the inn. You see, man proposes
and God disposes.

Now Nachoma, the innkeeper's dd•
est, was really worthy of a husband
from the Prague yeshiba. She was a
shy beauty and a kindly soul. tier
goodness shone through her calm
eyes—an obedient daughter and a
pious one. She observed the ritual,
lit the candles, read prayers—in sort,
a woman worthy of the bridal can-
°PS'.
With the youngest daughter, things
went a little wrong—just a little—
nothing touch to speak of. She was
a strange, pensive creature, with
drooping eyelids, walking white-faced,
as if in a dream. When anyone call-
ed her it was like a summons from
another world; she would tremble
and almost fall. And when she looked
up with strangely intent eyes, one
felt uncomfortable under her gaze.
There was also'a sinister suggestion
about her doings. It was impossible
to get her away front the inn, espe-
cially at night when there was sing-
ing and dancing. For hours at a
time she would sit and watch the
peasants making love to their sweet-
hearts, dancing, whirling about and
singing their chants.
When she was dragged off to bed
to sleep with Nachoma she would
close lice eyes until she knew her
sister to hi. asleep, then jump out of
bed, barefoot, and peep through the
keyhole or a crack in the wall. If,
perchance, her mother would catch
her at it awl drag her away. her body
would burn as if fever-stricken, her
eyes shot soarks. and Dvoshe, fright .,
toed. would run back to Yachiel
Michael and tell hint about it. "If
only we were permitted," Inc sighed,
"to marry off the younger first!"
"W'si ought to ask about this," an-
swered Ds oshe. Meantime the fol-
lowing things came to pass.

The Roadster, Too, Has All
the Noted Essex Qualities
Speed— PCWCT —Endurance— Economy—Utility.
It is an Ideal Car for Business as Well as Pleasure
The wide business uses for which the Essex
Roadster is adapted are instantly apparent.
Its utilities are many. But note no evidence
of them is revealed when the Roadster is used
as a pleasure car. Every line is smart, trim
and graceful. It takes but a moment to make
rz- ie change.
A World Endurance Record
Proves Essex Dependability
A large class of its buyers are business men.
They choose it for utility and dependable
transportation. It becomes, in fact, a part of
their business system. It must be on the job,
keep all engagements on time, and be as re-
sponsible as an engineer's watch.
These same qualities, with its rare good
looks, make the Roadster unsurpassed as a
smart car for pleasure.
Economy, durability and train-like regu-
larity are the standards set by Essex. These
things have been shown in the hands of more
than 25,000 owners.
It was more dramatically proved on the
Cincinnati speedway, when an Essex stock
chassis set the world's long distance endurance
record of 3,037 miles in 50 hours. The same
car, in three separate tests, traveled 5,870
miles at an average speed above a mile a
minute. Another stock Essex set the world's
24-hour road mark of 1,061 miles over snow-
covered Iowa roads.
It is specially suited for salesmen, inspectors
and others who must cover wide territory,
quickly and frequently. Though not large,
the Essex is commodious. There is plenty of
room for passengers, and special arrangements
for carrying sample cases, unseen, and even a
trunk if desired.
Come see the Essex Roadster. Ride in it.
Try its paces. Whether you want it for busi-
ness or pleasure, you will appreciate why Essex
in its first year set a new world's sales record.

The man of piety pondered the
matter and then said: "No Yachiel, it
won't do."
"But why not. rabbi? Has my Mal-
kah—God forbid!--a sin upon her
soul? She is a child, a young sapling,
and whichever way she will be
bent—"
"I didn't say that she has sinned.
But consider; suppose I were to
choose for your youngest a youth
from the yeshiba—that is to say, a
youth poor in this world's goods.
What would it profit you? A student
of the Torah, Ile would sit and study.
. . . . You are not going to take
them into your home in the village?"
"Of course not. Not as long as the
young squire is there."
"Well, then you will have to leave
them in Prague. You will hire a lodg-
ing for them and leave them, and send
them money to live on. What will
the young couple do? The husband
will sit in the House of Learning day
and night, and she, the young bride,
what will she do? What thoughts
will she think? In what land of
dreams will she roam about?"
"You are right," admitted Yachiel
:Michael, hoarsely. "What, then, shall
I du?"
"Whatever is hest," answered the
rabbi, "and I shall help you to marry
her off properly. I myself shall send
for a marriage broker and tell him
where to go. He must go to a house
where the are many people, reputable
and well off, but. somewhat indulgent.
When you will come to me about
your other daughter you stall get
what I promised you— a great scholar
worth his weight in gold. Meanwhile,
marry off the younger."

And so it came to pass. The inn-
keeper kept his counsel and secretly
arranged a fine match for Malkah.
And Malkah knew nothing of the
whole matter until the very last min-
ute. She did not know why she was
clad in costly clothes and why she

conduct was blameless throughout.
She was a little pale, to be sure, and
her eyes were always lowered- but
what of that? The good God had
created her thus, and made her beau-
tiful. She never took a step without
her mother-in-law; never asked for
anything; ate whatever was given her;
put on whatever dress they chose for
her. Neat and silent, and lovely.
When she went out in her Sabbath
